Chicken inner fillet in air fryer is a quick and healthy way to prepare juicy and tender chicken. Using an airfryer ensures a crispy outside while keeping the inside moist. This method is perfect for a fast dinner or a healthy snack.
Cooking chicken inner fillet in air fryer is a great choice because it reduces the amount of oil needed while still delivering crispy and flavorful results. The airfryer circulates hot air around the fillets, ensuring even cooking and a golden texture. This method is also quicker than traditional frying and helps retain more nutrients in the chicken.
Prepare the fillets
Start by patting the chicken inner fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps them crisp up better in the airfryer. Season with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices.
Coat the fillets
Lightly brush or spray the fillets with a small amount of oil to enhance crispiness. If you prefer a breaded coating, dip the fillets in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs.
Cook in the airfryer
Preheat the airfryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the fillets in a single layer in the airfryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (167°F).
Serve and enjoy
Remove the fillets from the airfryer and let them rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy them with a dipping sauce, salad, or in a sandwich.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken inner fillets for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you want an even crispier result, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. Avoid overcrowding the airfryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the airfryer for a few minutes to maintain their crispiness.
